8、ground state,will absorb light of the samewavelength they emit when excited.When radiation from agiven excited element is passed through a flame containingground state atoms of that element,the intensity of thetransmitted radiation will decrease in proportion to the amountof ground state element in
9、the flame.A hollow cathode lampwhose cathode is made of the element to be determinedprovides the radiation.The metal atoms to be measured4,5areplaced in the beam of radiation by aspirating the specimen intoan oxidant fuel flame.A monochromator isolates the charac-teristic radiation from the hollow c
10、athode lamp,and a photo-sensitive device measures the attenuated transmitted radiation,which may be read as absorbance units or directly as concen-tration on some instruments.4.2 Since the variable and sometimes high concentrations ofmatrix materials in the waters and brines affect absorptiondiffere
11、ntly,it is difficult to prepare standards sufficiently similarto the waters and brines.To overcome this difficulty,themethod of additions is used in which three identical samplesare prepared and varying amounts of a standard added to twoof them.The three samples are then aspirated,the concentra-tion
